2. KANNAD ELTs System Presentation
KANNAD ELTs system is composed of:
1.
an ELT transmitter (Refer to B. Compatibility list, page 14) and its
mounting bracket;
2.
a remote control panel;
3.
a DIN-12 connector (P/N S1820514-03) or programming dongle
(P/N S1820514-01 or P/N S1820514-06);
4.
an outside whip or rod antenna.
The transmitter and bracket are installed in the aircraft near the tail.
The remote control panel is installed in the cockpit and connected to the ELT
with a 2-wire bundle (not supplied).
The DIN-12 connector is used to connect the RCP bundle to the ELT, it may be
replaced by a programming dongle fulfilling two functions:
• programming of ELT;
• connection of RCP bundle to ELT.
The outside antenna is mounted on the fuselage near the tail.

3. Description
A. General
The RC102 is the smallest version of remote control panels compatible
with KANNAD406 AF-COMPACT series ELTs. It is specially intended for
general aviation or helicopters and can also be adapted for «cabin
installations» or retrofits on board airliners thanks to its small dimensions.
The 102 enables remote control of the primary functions of KANNAD ELTs
(Manual activation, Reset andTest) as well as visual monitoring.
CAUTION: RC102 is not compatible with KANNAD 406 AF COMPACT
P/N S1840501-01 at amendment L or lower.

2. two LEDs annunciators, a led stand, a led mounting, washers and nuts:
• the red LED is a standard LED;
• the white led is a NVG (Night Vision Goggles) LED.
3. a PCB on which is soldered a 3-position toggle switch with 2 locked
positions and a momentary position plus its washer and nut;
4. an identification label.
5. a CAUTION label

4. RCP installation
A. Installation recommendations
IMPORTANT: Installation of this RCP is covered by Service Bulletin
"SB S1820513-25-02": Refer to Section 1. Introduction, page 1.
The RCP shall be installed in the cockpit. The RCP shall be readily
accessible from the pilot’s normal seated position.
CAUTION: RC102 RCP may only be installed with KANNAD 406 AF
COMPACT P/N S1840501-01 at amendment M or higher or on
KANNAD 406 AF COMPACT ER P/N S1840501-04. A WARNING label
is supplied with the kit and must be stuck on the 2-wire bundle on the
ELT side.
2 types of front plates may be installed. Choose the appropriate front plate
according to the aircraft’s instrument panel. The kit also includes 2 LEDs.
The white LED is a NVG LED, the red LED is a standard LED.
CAUTION: use NVG LED only for military aircraft equipped for Night
Vision Goggles. Never install this LED in RCP for standard aircraft.
Connection of RC102 requires a 2-wire bundle. A pin-to-pin wiring has to
be provided by the installer with AWG24 wires. Shielded wires are
recommended.
The wires are soldered to a PCB installed on the switch. This operation can
be carried out before installation.
On the ELT side, the wires are soldered to a 12-pin plug that can be either
a standard "DIN12 connector" (P/N S1820514-03) or a connector with an
integrated serial memory module called "Programming Dongle"
(P/N S1820514-01).
B. RCP Installation procedure
(1) Mount RCP
(Refer to Figure 3: RCP mounting diagram)
NOTE: Legs of LED must be protected by heat shrinkable sleeves.

5. Working mode
A. Controls
The following elements are to be found on the RC102 remote control
panel:
1. a 3-position switch (ON, ARMED, RESET & TEST);
2. a red or white visual indicator.
Figure 5: RCP controls

The visual indicator gives an indication on the working mode of the ELT:
- After the self-test:
• one long flash indicates that the system is operational and that no
error were found;
• a series of short flash indicates the test has failed.
- In operation mode:
• periodic flashes during 121.5 transmissions;
• long flash during 406 transmission.

B. Working mode information
The RC102 remote control panel enables remote control and remote
monitoring of the KANNAD ELTs provided that the ELT switch is in
armed position.
(1) Remote control
Remote control is done through a 3-position switch:
1. ON (transmission) enables manual activation of the ELT;
2. ARMED (stand by mode to enable automatic activation by the shock
sensor of ELT) is an idle position. Unless there is an emergency, the
switch must stay in this position.
3. RESET & TEST is used either to stop the ELT transmission if
activated or to perform a self-test.
Figure 6: 3-position switch

3
The OFF mode is not available on the remote control panel but directly
on the ELT itself by switching it in OFF position.
Important notice: TEST/RESET (downwards) is a momentary
position.
Refer to operation manual of the ELT for precise information on these
modes.
(2) Monitoring
Monitoring is done through a visual indicator operating in the same way
than the one of the ELT:
Transmission:
• 1.5 Hz pulse signal (recurrence 0.7 s) during ELT transmission on
121.5 MHz;
• 1 long flash during ELT transmission on 406 MHz every 50 seconds.
Self-test:
(Refer to C. RESET & TEST, page 11).

A. Stand by mode
The stand by mode is the ARMED position (idle position). The switch is in
the middle position.
This mode is used to enable automatic activation by the shock sensor of
the ELT provided that the ELT switch is in armed position. Unless
there is an emergency, the switch must stay in this position.
B. ON mode
This mode is used to activate manually the ELT. When this mode is
selected, the ELT transmission is activated.
- Pull and lift the switch upwards.
A self test is first performed (Refer to C. RESET & TEST, page 11).
- After the self-test (max. duration 15 seconds), the ELT starts to transmit:
• The visual indicator is flashing in the same way than the one of the
ELT.
C. RESET & TEST
This mode is used either to perform a self-test or to stop the ELT
transmission if activated.
(1) Self test
IMPORTANT: Do not perform self-test without the antenna
connected.
Self-test must be performed regularly by a pilot or maintenance
personnel from the Remote Control Panel but should not be done
more than specified in the ELT user manual.
However, each self-test consumes energy from the battery. Should
self-tests be carried out more often than the maximum allowed, the
battery life-time of the ELT might be shorter than specified.
Press the switch downwards for at least 1 second then release it (the
switch comes back in ARMED position):
The visual indicator is flashing as follows:
• one short flash at the beginning of the self-test sequence
After a few seconds, the test result is displayed with the visual indicator
as follows:
• one long flash indicates the system is operational and that no error
conditions were found;
• a series of short flashes indicates the test has failed:
Refer to the ELT manual.

REMOTE CONTROL PANEL RC102
(2) RESET
This mode is used to stop the ELT when activated.
If the ELT is activated, the visual indicator of RCP is flashing in the same
way than the one of the ELT:
• Press the switch downwards for at least 1 second then release it (the
switch comes back in ARMED position):
- the ELT comes back in stand by mode.
D. RCP operational tests
Check correct operation of RCP visual indicator by switching ELT and RCP
as described in the following sequential procedure, Figure 9: RCP visual
indicator operation (with ELT switch in the «ARM» position).
